The first day of school our professor introduced himself and challenged us to get to know someone we didn't already know. I stood up to look around when a gentle hand touched my shoulder. I turned round to find a wrinkled, little old lady with a smile. She said, “Hi handsome. My name is Rose. I'm eighty-seven years old. Can I give you a hug ” I laughed, “Of course you may!” “Why are you in college at such an age ” I asked. She jokingly replied, “I'm here to meet a rich husband, get married, and have a couple of kids.….”

In addition to sports, the venue(场馆) will also be used as a place for cultural activities such as concerts and light shows in order to get the venue into citizen's everyday lives for free time and entertainment.

People who grew up in the country have a better sense of direction and navigational(导航) skills than those raised in cities, a study said Wednesday.
To find out how childhood environment influences navigation ability, scientists looked at how almost 400, 000 people from 38 countries played a mobile videogame designed for neuroscience research.
Players of the Sea Hero Quest game had to navigate a boat to find checkpoints(边防关卡) on a map, according to the study published in the Nature journal.
Co-lead author Antoine Coutrot of the University of Lyon said research had previously shown that when mice grew up in cages with complex paths,” certain abilities in their brains, including sense of space, were also improved.”
However, humans were a little trickier to study because “we cannot lock them up in cages,” he told AFP. So the researchers used Sea Hero Quest which was created in 2016 to study Alzheimer's disease and has since been played by nearly 4 million people.
Coutrot said people who grew up in the countryside scored better because “the countryside is a rather complex environment since it is very unorganized, with greater distances, meaning you have to memorize your route(路线).”
However, people raised in more complex cities such as Paris, Chongqing and Prague did much better than those from cities with orderly planned streets like Chicago, he added.
And adults can still improve their sense of direction later in life if they work at it. “It's a bit like learning another language, which will be much easier if you learned it when you were young,” Coutrot said.
32. How did the scientists carryout the study
A. By asking people about their childhood environment.
B. By observing how participants played a videogame.
C. By comparing mice with humans.
D. By studying the data collected
33. What caused people in the countryside to perform better in the study
A. The complex environment. B. The shorter distances.
C. The organized paths. D. Their better memory.
34. Which of the following may have the people with the worst navigational skills
A. Paris. B. Prague. C. Chicago. D. Chongqing.
35. Which is the best title for the passage
A. Adults Should Improve Their Sense of Direction Earlier
B. Childhood Environment Influences Navigation Ability
C. Mice Have Better Navigation Ability than Humans
D. People Raised in Cities are not Good at Navigation

A Great Monday
Monday started out great. I woke upon time, ate breakfast and did some last minute studying for my math test that day. I was confident that I would get a high mark. I left my house, and minutes later, I was sitting with my friends on the school bus. We were busy talking about how we spent our weekend. At one stop, a boy named Ryan got on hurriedly. He tripped(绊倒) over someone's foot and THUMP! He fell flat on to the floor.
Every one of us on the bus looked on and laughed crazily. Ryan picked himself up, dusted his jacket and made his way to an empty seat. He tried to laugh with us, but his face was burning with embarrassment. The rest of the morning flew by. I did well in my math test. It wasn't long before the lunch bell rang. I met my friends from the cheerleading team in the dining hall.
When we finished eating, we headed out to the courtyard to practice a cheer we would do at that night's football game. After much practice, we finally managed to do the cheer perfectly. We decided to practice it again one last time. Again, just like the rest of my day so far, the cheer was going great. I raised my leg for one last toe touch. RIIPPP! I felt my jeans was torn down in the middle of my backside.
I froze(僵住了). I had no idea what to do but stand still. Then I heard people burst out laughing and I saw them pointing at my broken jeans. Trying to cover myself with my hands, I tried to laugh too, but I felt tears began to well up in my eyes.
注意: 1.续写的词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Then I saw Ryan running towards me.
That night, after the cheer at the football game, I found Ryan.
